I'd like to see TO in the playoffs tbh, but I have a bet with a buddy of mine worth 50$ that the LOeafs wouldn't make it. I made this bet about 40 games into the season when the Leafs were still in the playoffs, but their possession numbers were in the tank. They're still giving up 36+ shots a night. They really don't deserve to be there, but neither do we.

Why don't the Habs deserve to be there? I think we are a playoff team.

sure, Leafs, Caps and Devils deserve to be there WAAAAY before us, right ?

as for the P.O., maybe we should cancel every game in the east not involving Boston or Pittsburgh ? cause you know, no one is as good as them so... no other in the east really deserve to be considered PO teams...

Habs have not proven that they can play with Detroit for whatever reason. They need to beat them simply for their own confidence. Not sure why we don't match up well against them. They are not faster, their goaltending is not better. Habs need this game for many reasons including proven to themselves they can beat these guys.

Of course the Habs deserve to be in the playoffs. If you make the playoffs you deserve to be there and saying otherwise is stupid. If a team is able to play an 82 game schedule and get in then they should be there.
